Have I sworn once? No. Typically, debates are great here ! But once someone throws swears out, it is not worth it. Brings anger into interesting debates and then the fun is gone. The personal attacks are also unwarranted. Not everyone is on edge either.

This forum used to be fun, but the internet anger from some is actually quite disturbing

I cringe when when I see people that rub and touch their face with their dirty hands trying to fix the mask or pull it down to talk on their dirty phone. Your hands are FAR more likely to transmit the virus through your EYES, nose or mouth vs airborne. If you choose to wear one, put it on and...

^^ That is laughable. You looked at Google result #1. Did you add in their Federal debt obligations? Did you know what California itself reported? I guess not. But yeah, they are healthy... “Combining California’s debt with publicly held federal debt, we estimate a total debt-to-GDP ratio...

What hospitals? I think in general, our HC workers are heroes and even PRE covid, nurses get an unfair shake and are often overworked. That hospital system has been broken for quite a while. A close family member did 35 years at the large local hospitals in mgmt and often talked about how...

See page 2. Good unbiased data on capacity changes over the last 30 days in MA. https://www.mass.gov/doc/covid-19-dashboard-may-19-2020/download Hospitalizations down 29%, hospitals at surge capacity down 38%. Page 17 shows # of beds by city available.

OK I take it back, not ALL of California is operated incorrectly! https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/atwater-declares-itself-a-sanctuary-city-ends-all-lockdown-orders/ Would love some surrounding towns in MA to do this.

Your anger glows. This started with you criticizing the Federal response and you bringing politics into it. End of the day, you seem to be a big gov't person vs some of us are are about rights and freedom. That is fine, different viewpoints are OK! But thanks for letting me know you are...

Exactly. 151,000 people per month diagnosed with cancer in the US. Oncologists have been warning that screenings have dropped drastically since Covid started. How many diagnoses are being missed because of this? People are afraid to go to hospitals for normal procedures or check ups. If we...

The old California is bigger than some countries' economy argument! Seems like another liberal was "triggered" based on your profanity. California has a $1T pension liability. This has nothing to do with the size of their economy, rather chronic mismanagement of the pension fund. Do some...

Henry - have you looked at CA and NY over the last 10 years? You aren't really comparing the economies of these states to FL are you? If so, we have fundamental disagreements. Did you do any research? Yes every state will have budget issues (MA included)! But CA is FAR worse than other...

No not at all and that was not intended. You came out of right field accusing me of taking PPP funds? Like it would be a bad thing IF my company did? Not sure where it came from, so I responded in kind. You should also be careful of throwing false statements out. You have no idea why I...

Really? https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/496601-california-faces-largest-ever-budget-deficit A $54B budget deficit? Yea, balances well... 2nd - https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2020/04/29/these-10-us-states-are-best-prepared-for-a-deep-recession/#19bbed0c5dff

How many jobs have you created Suffolk?

This has to be a joke right? You think a drug that is known to cause serious health problems (see CO data and studies), as well more accidents, is better than our obese population exercising? Obese are far more likely to get this virus. So if we are going off anecdotal data from one...

I'm am sorry, I was referring to Pre-Covid. Yes, they will both be hurting post covid, but not nearly as badly as a state like CA that was almost backrupt pre-covid. Check out their public pension crisis. Ouch. However, their sales tax revenues will far surpass the states that have these...

Jjlo - talk to the frontlines. They are not at capacity and they have all the equipment they need. Were there pinch points? Absolutely. Right now things are stable and have been for weeks. Hospitals are actually laying off staff since their businesses are being stifled. Why are NY and CA...

George do you work in gov't? Sure sounds like it, or at the least, have a protected paycheck. I own a business, so I don't need the lecture. I have seen first hand other business owners CLOSE FOR GOOD because of this pathetic leadership at the state level. This is a free society and 48 states...

So true. The bus/train is FAR more dangerous then getting your hair cut. I laugh with the silver line rolling through the Seaport on Sundays. I have yet to see a single human on a SL 1-2 bus on a Sunday. Complete waste of money, but I digress. I am in professional services focused on SMBs...

^^^Exactly. Charlie allows people to stand outside Home Depot to get some gardening supplies to fix up their garden. Seems very essential. Marty Walsh has 0 idea what he is doing. First we had to lock down to stop the spread and flatten the curve. Now he thinks that not enough people have...
